Im telling you. WORDS CAN NOT DESCRIBE the atmosphere in The Cage when he squatted at the O. It was in the fucking air. It was seriously like a high. The Cage was packed. The isles were packed on all sides. The music was cranked up. Vinny G on the mic. Shit was unfucking real. Even now when I watch the videos, I can feel it in my chest. Pumps me the hell up.

Gonna be another sick year at the Cage, with even bigger numbers being thrown up
I'm fuckin pumped to see hoss and powerswitch doing their thing again in the cage. I still talk about both those dude regularly when discussing squats and DL's with people. I'm always like "ya that's impressive that u know a guy that did (whatever weight) but I've seen with my own eyes 2 dudes that are monsters lift weights I can't even fathom"
Shit is so cool to see and be a part of. I'm like a little kid in the front row all the time.
